Partial The companion apps and WireGuard configuration UI are codeable, but making an iPhone act as a tethered internet gateway runs into iOS networking limits. That part needs deep platform expertise.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a Network Extension–based iOS app with the required entitlements, or a companion server, plus WireGuard packet handling and NAT or forwarding. Carrier-specific hotspot detection workarounds also need network engineering and ongoing testing across carriers and iOS versions.
